NAVIGATION LIGHTS
Boats must display navigational lights when operating between sunset and sunrise and during
periods of poor visibility (rain or fog). These lights help to alert other boaters of a boatʼs presence
and course. Follow all laws concerning the use of navigational lights. The green navigation light is
always on the starboard side of the boat (right side). The red navigation light is always on the port
side of the boat (left side). Please keep this information in mind as you see other boats approaching
your boat while on the water.
DOCKING LIGHTS
Docking lights act as headlights do on an automobile. These lights are intended to be used as you
“dock” your boat after dark or during poor visibility. There is no need to use these lights while
simply “cruising” on the water. It is best to use them only while attempting to “dock” your boat after
dark.

ANCHOR LIGHT
The anchor light is a white all-round light that is located on the stern of your boat. This light is usu-
ally used just while your boat is anchored on the water so that other boaters can see you after dark.
Please follow all laws concerning the use of your boatʼs anchor light.
COURTESY LIGHT
The courtesy light is in your boat to provide extra convenience and comfort. It can be used after
dark to allow you to see items on your boat and to assist passengers as they move around inside of
the boat after dark. You can operate the courtesy light(s) by using the Nav/Anc switch on your helm
in conjunction with gently pushing the white lens on the light.

CONTROLS
Knowing how to use the controls on your boat is essential for safe and proper operation. The
controls described in this section may be optional equipment for your boat or may vary slightly from
those on your boat.
STEERING SYSTEMS
Azure boats are equipped with various steering systems. Some models have non-tilt mechanical
steering, tilt mechanical steering, or tilt hydraulic steering. Note below a listing and brief description
of each. Please read your steering systems ownerʼs manual for additional information concerning
maintenance, use and safety. Check with your dealer before changing your steering system.
Your Azure boat will be equipped with one of two complete steering systems:
1. Tilt mechanical system: With this steering system, the steering wheel connects to a cable which
transfers movement to the engine rudder. You will be able to adjust the tilt of your steering wheel
on the driverʼs helm. This tilt works somewhat like a tilt wheel in an automobile. Use it to set the
height and angle of the steering wheel for your comfort and use.
